Chapter 682 I Want to Be a Man

Phoebe glanced up, pointed at the payment line, and motioned for Lori to check it out. "Get the legal team on the phone and see if this payment is a mistake." Lori, sounding doubtful, replied, "Ms. Ziegler, you think they messed up?"

"We agreed on $4 million last night. If there's an error, we need to fix it ASAP. Go on, hurry."

Lori nodded and left.

After Phoebe finished going through the contract, Lori came back. "Ms. Ziegler, the legal team from "Ice and Fire" confirmed the payment is correct."

"Alright, the contract's good. Let the legal department know they can proceed." Phoebe handed the contract back to Lori, about to give more instructions when there was a knock on the door. Phoebe looked up to see Noah standing there, wearing sunglasses and a casual suit. He took off his shades and grinned, "Phoebe, am I interrupting?"

"Noah. You can talk to Ms. Ziegler." Lori quickly exited with the contract, closing the door behind her.

Noah strolled in, leaned against the desk, and looked down at Phoebe. "I heard you went with Wesley to an audition yesterday. I didn't get that kind of treatment." Phoebe thought she detected a hint of jealousy in Noah's voice.

"Did Alfonso not take care of you?"

Phoebe had Alfonso looking after Wesley, which meant less time for Noah. But Noah didn't really need Alfonso's help anymore; he could handle things himself. "No." A flicker of hurt crossed Noah's face.

Noah knew Phoebe always saw him as a little brother despite his countless hints of romantic feelings, she always played dumb.

Sometimes Noah really resented Phoebe. She was smart, but she always ignored his feelings.

Phoebe smiled, "Wesley is new and doesn't know the ropes. He needs someone experienced to guide him. Alfonso has a lot of experience, so I trust him with Wesley." Noah could tell Phoebe was trying to reassure him, worried he might be upset.
